Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

We have met the enemy and he is us. WALT KELLY
Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year.

Key Breakdown & Facts

Rate of Deaths: This equals roughly 274,000 sharks killed per day, 11,000 per hour, or about 3 sharks every second.

Shark Fin Trade: Around 73 million of these deaths are driven directly by the shark fin trade (primarily for shark fin soup).

Other Causes: Millions more die from accidental capture (bycatch in commercial fishing nets), meat harvesting, oil, cartilage, and illegal poaching.

Comparison: While humans kill roughly 100 million sharks annually, unprovoked shark encounters result in an average of only about 5 to 6 human fatalities worldwide each year
